Developing with CopilotKit + AG-UI + Azure AI Foundry Hosted Agents

Use this skill for development work inside an EXISTING application built on this stack: a React/Next.js frontend using CopilotKit, connected over the AG-UI protocol to a Microsoft Agent Framework (MAF) agent (Python or .NET) that runs as — or is being developed against — an Azure AI Foundry hosted agent (paid Azure service; usage may incur costs).

Do NOT use this skill to scaffold a new project. Dedicated scaffolders exist (the CopilotKit CLI, azd ai agent init); use those, then return here for everything that follows: adding tools, gating them behind approvals, generative UI, shared state, debugging, dependency upgrades, and deploying agent updates.
